This library implements the user-space interfaces to the POSIX
1003.1e capabilities available in Linux kernels. These capabilities are

privileges.

The libcap-ng library is intended to make programming with posix
capabilities much easier than the traditional libcap library.

This package contains utilies for analysing and setting file capabilities.
